So you say, yet there is more room to increase it
I partake in the CHROMATIC BOWL
That's such a great name for an acai or yogurt bowl restaurant
Taste the rainbow!
Much healthier!
can you actually crank it up a tiny bit more please
It's now just a bit more. Just a little bit really
Remember u/morejpeg_auto from The Other Place? Someone could probably make a "highersat_auto" bot to do this...
sent it to national geographic this second
Part of this whitebalanced breakfast!
OP photo appears to show realistic colors tbf. Red cabbage, carrots and soybeans are naturally vibrant foods. Animal foods are just generally pale and greyish in comparison, as they are pieces of decomposing cadaver.
Its subtle. While they're close to real, I don't think they're truly making things up, the colors are definitely enhanced. You're absolutely right that they choose vibrant foods, but here I've corrected by colormatching to the foods in my own fridge (under a full-spectrum light) to illustrate what's going on.
They're using very cool lighting which is why the carrot looks a little undersaturared (I also suspect they were using an older carrot here, having spent way too long zoomed in on this image) but I matched on the cabbage and lima beans.
It's not bad per-se, but it's an incredibly common thing to see with food photography and especially with raw food like this. With op, who is an egregiously terrible person posting nothing but this kind of enhanced photo, I felt it was worth calling out.
Stop feeding troll accounts. Check their history.
That bevage looks suspiciously non-vegan.
Shit, thanks I didn't notice it was them
Uh what am I missing?
Do you have one of those boot scraper things people put near their front doors? Very useful.
what?
How about a Flowbee™? Got one of them?
I have no idea what these zingers are supposed to mean
There is so much great vegan food!
Hell ya. You can unlock so much satisfying taste if you learn to cook rather than cutting up some vegetables too!
Vegetables?!!
Never would have guessed.
Looks good btw
I usually eat things without the colour saturation turned way up.
Vegans just eat lettuce, right? Lettuce for every meal? /s
full list of all vegan products (updated 2025):
- lettuce
- soy
- water
Nah, too many dust mites in dust
This has some real "How do you do, fellow vegans?" energy. Raw lima beans? Really??
I thought it was edamame.
Huh, you're probably right! They look awfully lima-bean-y to me (so flat), but it'd make way more sense for them to be edamame so that's probably what they are. Unseasoned edamame though, still pretty blech.
I'd be down for that minus the mushrooms.
I think it looks dope, but lacking sawce
Yeah, not vegan so I don't know what a good vegan sauce would be. Is Hoisin Sauce vegan?
Hoisin sauce is typically vegan as is soy sauce and teriyaki among many others
I too am not vegan, but I think you can get vegan hoosin, or in any case it may mostly be vegan now days!
I have recently gone mostly vegan due to medical issues and finding things to eat that are to my taste is not the issue. But nobody tells you the ungodly amounts you need to eat to have enough energy. Like... The time you need just to stuff all of that down your throat. And I'm like 2m and 75kg, it's not like I'ma fat by any measure.
Not enough protein? I have never had this issue tbh, if I think it might not be enough to sate me I throw a can of chickpeas in there and that'll do me fine
I find that increasing protein increases satiety, but not available energy.
I mean calories work the same, so if you eat enough carbs you should have enough energy. Are you supplementing B12? Or eat a lot of peanuts or fermented stuff?
Find better foods? Potatoes or foods with more carbs
I have a standard base. Beans. Then I can add seaweed salad or potatoes or tofu or rice or asparagus, or any number of anything else that has not been smeared on dead animal. Mushrooms are a big deal for me. I also have fake meats from time to time. But about fake meats...people don't fake other bad things...we have trampolines not fake falling. Nobody would fake smashing your face on the floor after a bad fall. So why call them fake meats? I rather start calling them like the drug industry calls drugs....Lobasta! Pizzasata! Musherk? "I'm cooking a mean musherk tonight..."
I love pistachios and peanuts. Soy milk and oat milk are great no matter what the government says we can't call them this week.
Apples, peaches and banana are fine fruits. In Washington state we don't much of any citrus. Blue berries and black berries are great, as well as grapes.
Sometimes I have a bunch of things to mix and such. Sometimes its just beans.
